CUMBERLAND ISLAND, GEORGIA
Georgia on your mind? Then welcome to the state’s largest barrier island and one of the most spectacular natural habitats in the Northern Hemisphere. Located just off the coast of St. Mary’s and accessible only by ferry or private boat, you can easily imagine glimpses of the Carnegie lifestyle throughout the ruins of Dungeness, Plum Orchard, and Greyfield Inn. It offers guests more than 17 miles of secluded beaches.
Wild horses and other island wildlife roam freely throughout the ruins and along the coast. Here pristine forests, undeveloped beaches, and vast marshes whisper the stories of both man and nature. Enslaved African Americans, missionaries, Natives, and Wealthy Industrialists all walked here. Cumberland Island is also home to over 9,800 acres of Congressionally designated Wilderness.
The island’s most significant and most lasting value is its ability to change people through its spiritual quality. It is a place of transformation. It has an invisible feature that seems to be the essential benefit Cumberland Island has for its guests.
You’ll develop a real burning love for this next island…..
